Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3162436A1] A method secures hash chains via hybrid consensus. A proximate payload for a proximate chain block for a proximate chain is obtained. A first identifier of the proximate chain and the proximate payload are hashed with a hash function to generate a second identifier of the proximate chain. The proximate chain block is added to the proximate chain. The proximate chain block includes the first identifier, the second identifier, and the proximate payload. A request to add the second identifier to a reporting chain is transmitted. A response hldicating that the second identifier is incorporated into the reporting chain using the consensus mechanism is received.
